I have Gem motoring assist. Covers me and the Mrs in any car or motorbike. Think it's about £114 per annum. Cant remember who I was with before,...
The seal on the foam membrane can fail letting water in. Need to take the door card off to check.
As I never got photos of the oil cooler during the cleaning/rebuilding process here is the realoem exploded diagram. The various parts stack...
Can't help with the car choice I'm afraid, but congratulations Spuff. (y)
Cheers all, the car's a keeper, so like to keep it running tip top. It's just passed it's MOT, hasn't failed one yet :) Appreciate the offer Al,...
No walnut blasting just yet Al, I'd be happy taking the manifold off again, although I would probably need an airgun to try and blast out the...
I've had my 335d for nearly 5 years and in that time I've added about 70,000 miles to the car. In general it's been reliable and as some of you...

Yes you're correct. I had a brain fart and thought it was for a 3 series :whistle:
Usually max nose weight is 75kg or so. But not sure on the electric ones.
I'd only buy genuine EGR valves from BMW, I bought an aftermarket one which was cheaper - against my gut feeling and the valve never sealed...
I have the Sealey one in the link. It's never let me down. However I did attach the thin metal drain hose from the Pela pump, which means it gets...
Forget the pela, although they work OK and I used to have one - I find the electric pumps are so much easier.
Probably just needs re-gassing.
Like that time Al I had mine recovered by BMW assist with a low coolant warning. 1/4 mile after picking the car up I got another low coolant...
